JRS vs JRSE
Job Retention Services (JRS) and Job Retention Service Extension (JRSE) are both activities used to support participants who have gained employment. Both activities use the BR component in eJAS. But JRS and JRSE have slightly different requirements and different time frames where they can be used.
The following information reviews the activities and how to use eJAS to correctly enter and track the Job Retention activities.

Choosing the Correct Activity: JRS or JRSE
You must check the Component History in eJAS to determine if you must use JRS or JRSE.
In the above example, the BR component was opened from 1/20/2020 – 04/18/2020 = 90 days. This is JRS.The next time BR is used is 07/16/2020 – 10/11/2020, which is JRSE.
Count the number of days the BR component was opened since 10/01/2019.
Be sure to include the first and last days in your day count.This online Date duration calculator: https://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.htmlcan be useful.
Job Retention Services (JRS) and Job Retention Services Extension (JRSE) both use the BR component.

Managing JRS and JRSE components
Currently eJAS limits access to cases when the participant’s Basic Food Assistance (BFA) case has been closed for greater than 90 days.
This will impact how you manage the eJAS cases for participants that are engaged in Job Retention activities.
Once the BFA case closes, the participant will not display on your active caseload screen in eJAS. You must use the Historical Report to find and access the case.
Updated 10/2021
Managing JRS and JRSE componentsYou can access the participant’s case from the Historical Report as long as there is an active FI
component. You can view the case, enter client notes and enter Participant Reimbursements.
Please note that the
BF closure reason
will not be accurate
You can manage components as usual for the first 90 days after the BFA closure.
Updated 10/2021
Managing JRS and JRSE components
After 90 days, you will no longer be able to make changes to the components in eJAS yourself.
The “Edit” link and “Add Component” button will not be available after 90 days of BFA closure.
The BFET Field Operations team will make all component updates for you in these cases.
Use the Eligibility List to request updates to components such as changing the hours, adding components, extending component scheduled end date, or closing components.
